Currently, Nouryon is expanding capacity at its site in Los Reyes, Mexico to produce GB-50 and will be able to ship the product all over the world.

The expansion is expected to be completed in May 2019.

Ross Opsahl, Polymer Chemistry Business Development Manager, said: “With Perkadox GB-50, we have created a DCHP-free alternative. Following testing in our RD&I labs and by select customers around the world, we have determined that it maintains the same performance level as its CH-50 predecessor.”

The new product is phlegmatized with ethylene glycol dibenzoate (EGDB).
